“There’s a constant dialogue about projects and when we can work together again, and it’s unfortunate that our schedules are quite different and that my kids and current television show keep me very busy so I’m not often available. But he knows I would be there for anything were I to have the time,” Bell said. And when it comes to her voiceover cameo on iZombie, she says it was “actually less than I would have liked to do.”

[Most] important for die-hard fans of Mars, Bell says there’s still hope. “We’ve ping-ponged other ideas but it always comes back to Veronica Mars because it’s so special to the both of us and in truth, because it’s so beloved by fans,” she said. “The whole reason to create something is so people will love it and we have the best fans on the planet so we’re definitely still looking for the window where we could allow Veronica to exist again, whether it’s a mini-series or a short-run cable series.”

The biggest hiccup in their way is simply busy schedules. But as Bell put it, “We haven’t dropped the conversation. It just might end up being more like a Murder, She Wrote, where I’m 80.”

In the web series, Ryan Hansen plays a fictionalized version of himself, trying to sell a Veronica Mars spin-off featuring his character, Dick Casablancas. Bell appears as herself in three episodes.

Bell is a busy woman. In addition two having two young children, she has just been cast in NBC‘s new Good Place TV series, alongside Ted Danson. She also plays Jeannie Van Der Hooven, on Showtime’s House of Lies TV series.

There is no telling when she and Thomas will fulfill the wish they share with each other and millions of fans. But if Bell wants to revive Veronica Mars, she just might. After all, Veronica Mars is smarter than me.

As long as the other characters came with it. the proposed jump to the future with V in the FBI didn’t include any of the beloved secondary characters. as a result, that formula would fail very quickly. If it had Logan, Wallace, Mac, Keith, Vinny, etc…. then it could definitely be a great reboot.
